Despite ongoing health and safety concerns in Northern Illinois, the Morton Arboretum is still holding its famous Illumination: Tree Lights<\/em> this year, the 8th consecutive year for the event. Similar to the North Shore’s Let it Shine experience<\/a> we wrote about, the Arboretum’s experience has been reimagined as a two-mile-long driving event as organizers keep the safety of patrons in mind. Make no mistake though, the awe-inspiring spectacle of Christmas lights, colors, and music, will be unmatched.<\/p>\n

A few new twists enter the fold in 2020, as well as favorites you’ve grown used to the past eight years, per a press release.<\/p>\n

The eight annual Illumination: Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum opens Nov. 20! See trees in a different light from the safety of your own vehicle on a nearly two-mile drive through the East Woods. Returning guests will enjoy six new displays and impressive new laser technology. And, the exhibition will be open later\u2014until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Perfect for date night or an after-dinner drive! Prices are per vehicle. Get tickets at mortonarb.org. Illumination is generously supported by Invesco, ComEd and DuPage Medical Group. #IlluminationTMA<\/a><\/p>\n
